Hello there.
I’ve been observing an issue that’s currently present on Battle.net Shop (website, Desktop and Mobile app) since sometime after the re-release of Warcraft: Orcs & Humans, Warcraft II: Battle.net Edition and Diablo on Battle.net. A couple or so days after that, the store pages for War1 and D1 have disappeared for Russian region (and my wishlist, oh well). Not War2: BNE.
Now, I’m fully aware that Blizzard currently doesn’t sell anything there and that’s not really the point of this topic. There’s just a bizarre inconsistency with how Store has operated since current restrictions were put in place. You would assume that every release and other purchases would be hidden, but that’s not the case.
For example, I can currently see following games, services and digital goods:
- All World of Warcraft Classic mounts, pets, toys, transmogs and with most of them listing prices in RUB.
- Diablo IV, its Battle Pass, “Diablo IV Shop” section and Add-ons & Platinum with Rebel’s Cache Platinum Pack price listed in RUB.
- Warcraft Rumble with Coin Packs having RUB prices.
- Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. Some “In-Game Content” options also have RUB prices.
- Trader’s Gilded Brutosaur, The Revel Pack, Warcraft 30th Anniversary Mount Bundle and The War Within expansion for World of Warcraft.
- Avoved.
Again, I would like to remind you that listed examples are just a visible Store pages. They’re not available to purchase. Seeing RUB prices here and there is especially odd since all previous Store pages were reverted to € not that long after Blizzard halted all sales for the region.
Meanwhile, (as far as I know) these Shop pages are the only ones that are currently hidden in Russian region:
- Warcraft: Orcs & Humans.
- Diablo.
- Warcraft I: Remastered.
- Warcraft II: Remastered.
- Warcraft Remastered Battle Chest.
Customer Support Ticket didn’t gave me any result since I was told it was outside of Game Masters capabilities to assist me on the matter of explaining this phenomena. As I’ve mentioned before, Warcraft II: Battle.net Edition still remains the exception to other recent old games and remasters that were released. It’s very strange and confusing to have these games specifically hidden meanwhile still being able to pages for newest Hearthstone packs or Overwatch 2’s Battle Pass.
Not only I want to get an explanation for this weirdness of hiding only a select few titles, but I also request one of two options: reveal hidden Games in Shop for Russian region (just make it visible like recently released Avoved, everything else I listed as examples and more) or hide all new Games/Services/etc. you introduced in 2022-2024. Just make it more consistent, one way or another.
